C3 carbon fixation

carbon fixation is the most common of three metabolic pathways for carbon fixation in photosynthesis, the other two being c4 and CAM.

See Portulacaria and C3 carbon fixation

Crassulaceae

The Crassulaceae (from Latin crassus, thick), also known as the stonecrop family or the orpine family, are a diverse family of dicotyledon flowering plants characterized by succulent leaves and a unique form of photosynthesis, known as Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM). Portulacaria and Crassulaceae are succulent plants.

See Portulacaria and Crassulaceae

Crassulacean acid metabolism

Crassulacean acid metabolism, also known as CAM photosynthesis, is a carbon fixation pathway that evolved in some plants as an adaptation to arid conditions that allows a plant to photosynthesize during the day, but only exchange gases at night.
